Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 31, 2025
Applies to: attorneyengine.com and related subdomains (the “Site”)
Attorney Engine (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to help the Site work, understand how it’s used, and improve your experience. This page explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They let websites remember things like your preferences or whether you’ve visited before. Cookies may be set by the site you’re visiting (first‑party) or by other companies (third‑party). Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: stay until they expire or you delete them.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and tags that work like cookies.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies for these purposes:
- Strictly necessary — to run core features like page navigation, security, and accessibility. These can’t be switched off.
- Performance & analytics — to understand which pages people visit and to fix issues. We use this to improve the Site, not to identify you directly.
- Functionality — to remember choices you make (e.g., preferred settings).
- Advertising/retargeting (if enabled) — to show more relevant information and limit repeat messages. You can opt out of these.
Why we use cookies
You’re in control. You can:
- Accept or reject non‑essential cookies using the banner when you first visit the Site or by revisiting Cookie Preferences (link below).
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. (Look under your browser’s Help or Settings.)
- Use industry tools such as built‑in tracking protection features in modern browsers.
Manage preferences: Visit our Cookie Preferences section to review or change your settings at any time.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers let you send a “Do Not Track” signal. Many sites, including ours, don’t respond to DNT because there isn’t a common standard.
If you enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of cookies used for “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as defined by California law) where applicable. If you believe your GPC signal isn’t being honored, please contact us.
California privacy choices
If you’re a California resident, you can exercise rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising. Use Cookie Preferences below or visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page at:
https://www.attorneyengine.com/privacy-policy/do-not-sell-or-share.
